Book excerpt: The American Mathematics Competition (AMC) series is a group of contests that judge students’ mathematical abilities in the form of a timed test. The AMC 8 is the introductory level competition in this series and is taken by tens of thousands of students every year in grades 8 and below. Students are given 40 minutes to complete the 25 question test. Every right answer receives 1 point and there is no penalty for wrong or missing answers, so the maximum possible score is 25/25. While all AMC 8 problems can be solved without any knowledge of trigonometry, calculus, or more advanced high school mathematics, they can be tantalizingly difficult to attempt without much prior experience and can take many years to master because problems often have complex wording and test the knowledge of mathematical concepts that are not covered in the school curriculum. This book is meant to teach the skills necessary to solve mostly any problem on the AMC 8. However, our goal is to not only teach you how to perfect the AMC 8, but we also want you to learn and understand the topics presented as if you were in a classroom setting. Above all, the first and foremost goal is for you to have a good time learning math! The units that will be covered in this book are the following: - Test Taking Strategies for the AMC 8 - Number Sense in the AMC 8 - Number Theory in the AMC 8 - Algebra in the AMC 8 - Counting and Probability in the AMC 8 - Geometry in the AMC 8 - Advanced Competition Tricks for the AMC 8

Download or read book First Steps for Math Olympians written by J. Douglas Faires and published by MAA. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major aspect of mathematical training and its benefit to society is the ability to use logic to solve problems. The American Mathematics Competitions have been given for more than fifty years to millions of students. This book considers the basic ideas behind the solutions to the majority of these problems, and presents examples and exercises from past exams to illustrate the concepts. Anyone preparing for the Mathematical Olympiads will find many useful ideas here, but people generally interested in logical problem solving should also find the problems and their solutions stimulating. The book can be used either for self-study or as topic-oriented material and samples of problems for practice exams. Useful reading for anyone who enjoys solving mathematical problems, and equally valuable for educators or parents who have children with mathematical interest and ability.

Download or read book The Contest Problem Book IX written by David Wells and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ninth book of problems and solutions from the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) contests. It chronicles 325 problems from the thirteen AMC 12 contests given in the years between 2001 and 2007. The authors were the joint directors of the AMC 12 and the AMC 10 competitions during that period. The problems have all been edited to ensure that they conform to the current style of the AMC 12 competitions. Graphs and figures have been redrawn to make them more consistent in form and style, and the solutions to the problems have been both edited and supplemented. A problem index at the back of the book classifies the problems into subject areas of Algebra, Arithmetic, Complex Numbers, Counting, Functions, Geometry, Graphs, Logarithms, Logic, Number Theory, Polynomials, Probability, Sequences, Statistics, and Trigonometry. A problem that uses a combination of these areas is listed multiple times. The problems on these contests are posed by members of the mathematical community in the hope that all secondary school students will have an opportunity to participate in problem-solving and an enriching mathematical experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many mathematicians have been drawn to mathematics through their experience with math circles: extracurricular programs exposing teenage students to advanced mathematical topics and a myriad of problem solving techniques and inspiring in them a lifelong love for mathematics. Founded in 1998, the Berkeley Math Circle (BMC) is a pioneering model of a U.S. math circle, aspiring to prepare our best young minds for their future roles as mathematics leaders. Over the last decade, 50 instructors--from university professors to high school teachers to business tycoons--have shared their passion for mathematics by delivering more than 320 BMC sessions full of mathematical challenges and wonders. Based on a dozen of these sessions, this book encompasses a wide variety of enticing mathematical topics: from inversion in the plane to circle geometry; from combinatorics to Rubik's cube and abstract algebra; from number theory to mass point theory; from complex numbers to game theory via invariants and monovariants. The treatments of these subjects encompass every significant method of proof and emphasize ways of thinking and reasoning via 100 problem solving techniques. Also featured are 300 problems, ranging from beginner to intermediate level, with occasional peaks of advanced problems and even some open questions. The book presents possible paths to studying mathematics and inevitably falling in love with it, via teaching two important skills: thinking creatively while still ``obeying the rules,'' and making connections between problems, ideas, and theories. The book encourages you to apply the newly acquired knowledge to problems and guides you along the way, but rarely gives you ready answers. ``Learning from our own mistakes'' often occurs through discussions of non-proofs and common problem solving pitfalls. The reader has to commit to mastering the new theories and techniques by ``getting your hands dirty'' with the problems, going back and reviewing necessary problem solving techniques and theory, and persistently moving forward in the book. The mathematical world is huge: you'll never know everything, but you'll learn where to find things, how to connect and use them. The rewards will be substantial. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.

Download or read book AMC 10 Preparation Book written by Nairi Sedrakyan and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists only of author-created problems with author-prepared solutions (never published before) and it is intended as a teacher's manual of mathematics, a self-study handbook for high-school students and mathematical competitors interested in AMC 10 (American Mathematics Competitions). The book teaches problem solving strategies and aids to improve problem solving skills. The book includes a list of the most useful theorems and formulas for AMC 10, it also includes 12 sets of author-created AMC 10 type practice tests (300 author-created AMC 10 type problems and their detailed solutions). National Math Competition Preparation (NMCP) program of RSM used part of these 12 sets of practice tests to train students for AMC 10, as a result 75 percent of NMCP high school students qualified for AIME. The authors provide both a list of answers for all 12 sets of author-created AMC 10 type practice tests and author-prepared solutions for each problem.About the authors: Hayk Sedrakyan is an IMO medal winner, professional mathematical Olympiad coach in greater Boston area, Massachusetts, USA. He is the Dean of math competition preparation department at RSM. He has been a Professor of mathematics in Paris and has a PhD in mathematics (optimal control and game theory) from the UPMC - Sorbonne University, Paris, France. Hayk is a Doctor of mathematical sciences in USA, France, Armenia and holds three master's degrees in mathematics from institutions in Germany, Austria, Armenia and has spent a small part of his PhD studies in Italy. Hayk Sedrakyan has worked as a scientific researcher for the European Commission (sadco project) and has been one of the Team Leaders at Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT). He took part in the International Mathematical Olympiads (IMO) in United Kingdom, Japan and Greece. Hayk has been elected as the President of the students' general assembly and a member of the management board of Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris (10,000 students, 162 different nationalities) and the same year they were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Nairi Sedrakyan is involved in national and international mathematical Olympiads having been the President of Armenian Mathematics Olympiads and a member of the IMO problem selection committee. He is the author of the most difficult problem ever proposed in the history of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), 5th problem of 37th IMO. This problem is considered to be the hardest problems ever in the IMO because none of the members of the strongest teams (national Olympic teams of China, USA, Russia) succeeded to solve it correctly and because national Olympic team of China (the strongest team in the IMO) obtained a cumulative result equal to 0 points and was ranked 6th in the final ranking of the countries instead of the usual 1st or 2nd place. The British 2014 film X+Y, released in the USA as A Brilliant Young Mind, inspired by the film Beautiful Young Minds (focuses on an English mathematical genius chosen to represent the United Kingdom at the IMO) also states that this problem is the hardest problem ever proposed in the history of the IMO (minutes 9:40-10:30). Nairi Sedrakyan's students (including his son Hayk Sedrakyan) have received 20 medals in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), including Gold and Silver medals.
